Head-to-head evidence
Alogliptin vs MP-513
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

NCT00286429 · Phase 3 · completed
The 390-participant trial was randomized, quadruple-blind, and placebo-controlled, with 130, 131, and 129 participants assigned to placebo, alogliptin 12.5 mg, and alogliptin 25 mg, respectively. Both primary HbA1c comparisons were statistically significant in favor of alogliptin, but HbA1c is a surrogate measure, so the evidence does not establish a strong clinical-outcome grade.

MP-513
Developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma
NCT00974090 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study of 194 adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on sulfonylurea therapy, with a 12-week double-blind period followed by a 40-week open-label extension. The primary endpoint - change from baseline in HbA1c at Week 12 - is a hard, regulator-accepted measure of glycemic control, and the comparison clearly favored teneligliptin (LS mean -0.71% vs +0.29% for placebo, SE 0.06 per arm), however statistical significance is not reported.
